Russia 2018: Riquelme reveals how Argentina can win World Cup

Argentina Legend, Juan Román Riquelme has said that captain, Lionel Messi was capable of winning Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup for the Albiceleste if he stays in good physical condition before and during the competition in June.

The former Barcelona and Villarreal star said he hopes Messi recovers on time after missing Argentina’s last two international friendlies against Italy and Spain due to injury.

Riquelme, however, predicted that Brazil, France and Germany were favourites to win this year’s World Cup.

“I hope that Argentina will improve because they are still in that process of building a team, which is the most difficult,” Riquelme was quoted on Mundo Albiceleste.
